Scientific paper

A summary of information provided to the SPA Meteor Section from January and February, 2000, is given. The Quadrantid maximum was quite well viewed visually and by radio, and perhaps produced two peaks on January 4, a chiefly visual one around 3h-5h UT (ZHRs of 125+-20; lambda=283.06--283.14, eq. J2000.0), and a mainly radio one around 9h-12h UT (ZHRs around 70+-10; lambda=283.31-283.44). January 9, 1h56m UT, brought a brilliant fireball over northern England which was widely-seen. A possible shower association is suggested for the minor radio peak first detected on January 24-25, 1998 (lambda=304-305), which recurred weakly in both 1999 and 2000. February was notable for more bright fireball sightings from the UK, with two on February 10-11, one on February 13-14, and another widely-seen event over southern Scotland on February 14-15.
